Fundamentally untrue.  I had their "Bash Burger" and was thoroughly disappointed for the following reasons that I will break down into two categories:

Things they can fix:
1) 32 minute wait time - I was there for lunch and it took a majority of my time off work to put a flat pattied burger in front of me. Taffer and Chef Brian Duffy would not approve.
2) Dr. Pepper Machine was flat - really? I mean REALLY?!
3) Plate lacked garnish - This is something I would expect from Tubby's but c'mon... can a brother get a piece of lettuce or AT LEAST a pickle on my plate!?

Things they cannot fix:
1) Skinny burger - If you're going to be a burger joint then maybe thicken that bad boy up a bit. Apparently "all the burgers come medium" but I cannot imagine the difference between medium and well when the patty is no thicker than a sticky note.
2) Diabetes - I'm just not sure why they needed to cover the entire bun in a whole stick of butter.
3) IHOP - It just tastes like it's not something they are good at. I had a distinct IHOP burger flashback when I ate the Bash Burger.

On a slightly unrelated note, I decided to give them a chance again last night by checking out their nightlife. I'll give it to them that it was a wedneday. HOWEVER, "our internet went out so we are going to sit here in silence" is just and excuse for me to take my business to one of the other twenty something bars within crawling distance.

Thoroughly disappointed.

Also, rooftops are just glorified patios. If they arent executed properly, then I'd just rather be on the ground floor. So tell me this, why on earth is my only option on the rooftop to urinate a port-a-potty?? Jesus. It's 2013.

I'll give it a few weeks to iron out the kinks before I try it. My experiences with brand new restaurants are always disastrous.

Well, for now yes. They have a one in one out system when the bar is full on the rooftop (understandable). However, once you go to the bathroom downstairs, good luck getting back up top with your group. As an alternative, you can use the single person, unisex, portable toilet provided upstairs.

the head chef is a KSU ME grad who worked for iTAC for a long time.  really funny dude.  not like on purpose funny, just his mannerisms are weird and hilarious.  makes great food though.  his last name is Bollman but he likes to be called "Bolltron".

Isn't that where Hunam's used to be?  Or did they build something in that parking lot?

hunams tore down and built a large new building which includes the new hunams and a tenement structure and this space for wabash bar and the roof over the front of the bar and hunam is the rooftop patio area.

its made of cinderblocks which makes some people FURIOUS
